[oberliner]

AFP reported that Iranians chanted "Death to Israel" as a group of Islamist students unveiled a book mocking the Holocaust in an annual Al-Quds Day parade on Friday to show solidarity with Palestinians.

Featuring dozens of cartoons and sarcastic commentary, the book "Holocaust" was published by members of the Islamist Basij militia.

Education Minister Alireza Ali-Ahmadi was present in the capital's Palestine Square for the presentation of the book "Holocaust."

According to the news agency, the cover shows a Jew with a crooked nose and dressed in traditional garb drawing outlines of dead bodies on the ground.

Inside, bearded Jews are shown leaving and re-entering a gas chamber with a counter that reads the number 5,999,999.

3. Maybe Education Minister Alireza Ali-Ahmadi cannot understand a crime with no criminal.

If millions of civilians in a number of different countries were targeted for mass murder, then there would have to be somebody doing the targeting and saying "Death to those people." Who ever said "Death to" anybody? It sounds silly, like "Death to Smoochy."

4. Not the same language

Perhaps the nuance is lost in translation.
